Action is the antidote to self-doubt, fear, and despair. Taking action is like a muscle, it gets stronger when we use it.
Don’t wait for opportunities, create them. If you run your own business, reach out to 10 influencers in your industry and tell them about your product or service. Ask them to promote your company to their customers.
If you are looking for a promotion at work. Ask your manager what skills or experience you need to get that promotion and how he/she can help you to do it.
Many things in life are negotiable but a lot of people are afraid to ask.
Get clear about what you want, make a plan, and then take action. Massive action equals massive results. Go for your dreams, time will never be quite right. The best time is now! This is the only time we have control over it.
Affirm: “I AM a POWERFUL CREATOR. I CREATE THE LIFE I WANT TO HAVE.”

𝐓𝐨𝐩 𝟏𝟎 𝐋𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 "𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐩."
1. Be the Best
Anyone going to hire you, buy from you, or do what you want them to do will wonder if you’re the BEST choice.
BEST: Best for them, right now, based on what they believe and what they know
THE WORLD: Their world, the world they have access to
2 . Quitting Is Not a Failure
If you are not going to be the best, then you should just QUIT.
Quitting, in some scenarios, is actually essential for freeing up resources to get through the dips that matter.
This means you only have two options in life:
Quit or be Exceptional.
To become the best, you must understand these three curves:
3. The Cul De Sac:
1️This first curve is where you work, work, and work and work… but nothing changes. It doesn’t get a lot better; it doesn’t get a lot worse… it just is what it is.
Whenever you find one of these...
...you need to get off it fast.
The opportunity cost of investing your life in something that won’t get better is just too high.
4. The Cliff:
The cliff looks like something potentially promising at first… but then suddenly, it drops off rapidly & you suffer.
The cliff is a situation where you don’t quit… until you fall off the other end and everything falls apart.
5. THE DIP:
If there wasn’t a Dip, there’d be no scarcity. If It’s Worth Doing, There’s Probably a Dip. The Dip creates scarcity, and scarcity creates value.
It’s easy to Be a CEO. What’s hard is Getting there. There’s a huge dip along the way.
6. "Cul de sacs" & "Cliffs" Lead to Failure
If you’re facing either of these curves, you must quit. Not soon, but RIGHT NOW.
"The biggest obstacle to success is our inability to quit what isn’t working soon enough."
7. Quitting As Tactic VS Quitting As Strategy
Quitting is important, but we’re not talking about giving up and abandoning your long-term strategy.
You do have to quit the TACTICS that aren’t working.
8. The 6 Reasons why you might fail:
1️⃣you run out of time or money
2⃣you get scared
3⃣you’re not serious about it
4⃣you lose interest or enthusiasm and settle for mediocre
5⃣you focus on the short term instead of the long term
6⃣you pick the wrong thing to be best in the world
9. What The Woodpecker Knows
When faced with a dip, many people diversify to give themselves more options.
Before you think about doing something new… consider what would happen if you focused your efforts and managed to get through The Dip that you’re already in.
10. Two Questions To Ask Before Quitting
1⃣Am I Panicking?
The best quitters are the ones who DECIDE IN ADVANCE when they’re going to quit. You can always quit later – so wait until you’re done panicking to decide.
2⃣What Sort Of Measurable Progress Am I Making?
To succeed, to get to that light at the end of the tunnel, you’ve got to make some sort of forward progress, no matter how small.
Measurable progress isn’t just a raise or a promotion – it can be much more subtle than that.
In Conclusion:
There are times when winning means quitting.

10 𝗪𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱
1. 𝗦𝗘𝗧 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗚𝗢𝗔𝗟𝗦, 𝗕𝗨𝗧 𝗗𝗢𝗡’𝗧 𝗕𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗗
Rather than spending time on things that don’t make you grow, know yourself and what you want to become. Invest your energy on working to reach your goals but don’t feel pressured and allow yourself to experience failures.
2. 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙-𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘
Growing up, you may have been dependent on your parents, siblings, friends, and other people around you, and they might undeniably made your life easier. But in reality, not everyone can be there for someone forever. Each of us deals with our own battles, and you have to learn how to overcome them alone. It will make you stronger and more prepared to a much difficult trail.
3. 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡 𝗦𝗘𝗟𝗙-𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗟
Learn to control your emotions, actions, and temper. Learn to reflect, evaluate, and analyze the ends before it begins. Never let your emotions overpower your intelligence.
4. 𝗗𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗣 𝗔𝗖𝗖𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘
Understand that you can never control everything. When you face a loved one’s death, rejection, failure, heartbreak, etc., learn to quickly move forward, and the first step to that is acceptance.
5. 𝗕𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗, 𝗥𝗘𝗙𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚

1. Grief belongs to the griever
You have a supporting role, not the central role, in your friend’s grief. Grief is a very personal experience and belongs entirely to the person experiencing it.
2. Stay present and state the truth
❗️You cannot know what the future will be, for yourself or your friend—it may or may not be better later.
You cannot know that your friend’s loved one “finished their work here”, or that they are in a “better place”.
3. Do not try to fix the unfixable
❌Do not say anything that tries to fix the unfixable, and you will do just fine.
✨It is an unfathomable relief to have a friend who does not try to take the pain away.
4. This is not about you
Being with someone in pain is not easy. You will have things come up—stresses, questions, anger, fear, guilt. Your feelings will likely be hurt.
🫂It’s important that you be supported while you support your friend.
5. Anticipate, don’t ask
Do not say, “Call me if you need anything,” because your friend will not call.
✅Instead, make concrete offers: “I will be there at 4:00 p.m. Be reliable.
6. Do the recurring things
You can lessen the burden of “normal” life requirements for your friend.
💞 Your friend in small, ordinary ways—these things are tangible evidence of love.
7. Tackle projects together
Depending on the circumstance, there may be difficult tasks that need tending. Your presence alongside them is powerful and important.
8. Love
♥️Above all, show your love.
Be willing to not have any answers. Listen. Be there. Be present. Be a friend. Be love. Love is the thing that lasts.
9. Loss of Friendships
❗No matter what the deeper reasons are, the loss of friends you thought would stand by you through thick and thin is an added heartbreak.
The injustice of these second losses makes grief itself that much more difficult.

6 lessons from the book "The Joy of missing out
by Tonya Dalton"
1. It's not reality that makes us feel stuck, it's the lens we use to view the world.
2. Productivity is not about doing more, it's doing What's most important.
3. Living a life with our priorities guiding us is the key to a happy life. A life that feels well lived.
4. Overwhelm is not having too much to do. It's not knowing Where to start.
5. When people focus on being efficient, the
resource we target is time. We fail to realize that being efficient is about getting things done; being effective is getting what's important done. There's a big difference.
6. Strong systems harness the patterns of habits and make tasks happen automatically.
7. The big secret in life is that there is no big Secret. Whatever your goal is, you can get there if you're willing to work.

Top 10 Lessons learned From book-"The Dip"
1. Be the Best
🥇Anyone who is going to hire you, buy from you, or do what you want them to do is going to wonder if you’re the BEST choice.
BEST: Best for them, right now, based on what they believe and what they know
THE WORLD: Their world, the world they have access to
2 . Quitting Is Not Failure
If you are not going to be the best, then you should just QUIT.
Quitting, in some scenarios, is actually essential for freeing up resources to get through the dips that matter.
This means you only have two options in life:
Quit or be Exceptional.
To become the best, you must understand these three curves:
3. The Cul De Sac:
1️⃣This first curve is where you work and work and work… but nothing changes. It doesn’t get a lot better; it doesn’t get a lot worse… it just is what it is.
Whenever you find one of these...
...you need to get off it fast.
The opportunity cost of investing your life in something that’s not going to get better is just too high.
4. The Cliff:
2⃣The cliff looks like something potentially promising at first… but then all of a sudden it drops off rapidly & you suffer.
The cliff is a situation like this where you don’t quit… until you fall off the other end and everything falls apart.
5. THE DIP:
3⃣If there wasn’t a Dip, there’d be no scarcity. If It’s Worth Doing, There’s Probably a Dip. The Dip creates scarcity, and scarcity creates value.
It’s easy to Be a CEO. what’s hard is Getting there. There’s a huge dip along the way.
6. "Cul de sacs" & "Cliffs" Lead to Failure
If you’re facing either one of these curves, you need to quit. Not soon, but RIGHT NOW.
"The biggest obstacle to success in life is our inability to quit what isn’t working soon enough."
7. Quitting As Tactic VS Quitting As Strategy
🔄Quitting is important, but we’re not talking about giving up and abandoning your long term strategy.
You do have to quit the TACTICS that aren’t working.
8. The 6 Reasons why you might fail:
1️⃣you run out of time or money
2⃣you get scare
3⃣you’re not serious about it
4⃣you lose interest or enthusiasm and settle for mediocre
5⃣you focus on the short term instead of the long term
6⃣you pick the wrong thing to be best in the world
9. What The Woodpecker Knows
💡When faced with a dip, many people choose to diversify to give themselves more options.
Before you think about doing something new… consider what would happen if you focused your efforts and managed to get through The Dip that you’re already in.
10. Two Questions To Ask Before Quitting
1⃣Am I Panicking?
The best quitters are the ones who DECIDE IN ADVANCE when they’re going to quit. You can always quit later – so wait until you’re done panicking to decide.
2⃣What Sort Of Measurable Progress Am I Making?
To succeed, to get to that light at the end of the tunnel, you’ve got to make some sort of forward progress, no matter how small.
Measurable progress isn’t just a raise or a promotion – it can be much more subtle than that.
In Conclusion:
There are times when winning means quitting.

8. Why do we read? We’re not trying to ace tests or impress teachers. We are reading and studying to live and be good human beings—always and forever.
9. “In your actions, don’t procrastinate. In your conversations, don’t confuse. In your thoughts, don’t wander. In your soul, don’t be passive or aggressive. In your life, don’t be all about business.” —MARCUS AURELIUS
10. Great teachers are usually hardest on their most promising students. When teachers see potential, they want it to be fully realized. But great teachers also know that natural ability and quick comprehension can be quite dangerous to the student if left alone. An early promise can lead to overconfidence and create bad habits. Those who pick things up quickly are notorious for skipping the basic lessons and ignoring the fundamentals.
Don’t get carried away. Take it slow. Train with humility.

1. Today, make sure you take a walk. And in the future, when you get stressed or overwhelmed, take a walk. Take a walk when you have a tough problem to solve or a decision to make. When you want to be creative, take a walk. When you need to get some air, take a walk. When you have a phone call to make, take a walk. When you need some exercise, take a long walk. Take a walk together when you have a meeting or a friend over. Nourish yourself and your mind and solve your problems along the way.
2. Failure is a part of life we have little choice over. Learning from failure, on the other hand, is optional. We have to choose to learn.
3. The next time you face a political dispute or a personal disagreement, ask yourself: Is there any reason to fight about this? Is arguing going to help solve anything? Would an educated or wise person really be as quarrelsome as you might initially be inclined to be?
4. How you handle even minor adversity might seem like nothing, but, in fact, it reveals everything.
5. No need to be too hard on yourself. Hold yourself to a higher standard but not an impossible one. And forgive yourself if and when you slip up.
6. “It is possible to curb your arrogance, to overcome pleasure and pain, to rise above your ambition, and to not be angry with stupid and ungrateful people—yes, even to care for them.” —MARCUS AURELIUS
7. Do your job today. Whatever happens, whatever other people’s jobs happen to
be, do yours. Be good.
